Yeah the thing with me was I took the LSAT to see if I was good enough to make it into law school. Kind of a "Hey if i do super good and I"m smarter than I look, I should go to law school." Well then i ended up with a mediocre score of a 151. Good enough for some schools, not good enough for most. I was happy with my score, mainly cause I thought I did horrible, but it hasn't proven to be good enough... which is kind of reassuring cause now I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be at.
I wouldn't think being a lawyer could help more people than a teacher. A lawyer can help some people, but really they can also hurt some other people. Same goes for a teacher I guess, but they truly do have a huge impact on children's lives. I mean we all have that one teacher who was the bomb and taught us there's more to life than just video games and diet coke. ONe of my favorite History Teachers was a football coach slash world history teacher. He was a football coach and had to teach something so he taught world history, but instead of shluffing it off like most of the teacher/coaches did he took a huge interest not only in teaching it to us, but also learning it for himself, finding new and exciting little tid bits that made it cool to learn history. There was also my News Writing teacher who taught me how to develop my writing skills, though he could never get me to put a comma in the right spot. But he also taught a novels course where we got to read Best Sellers like the Godfather, One Flew Over the Coocoo's nest, Shibumi, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, and The World According to Garp... all really awesome books, except Garp was a little disturbing, the movie sucked big time too. So I say be a teacher if you can, I would but I don't have the patience for some kids and don't have the brains to be a college prof. I'd be the professor who's corrected by students in every class. "Um excuse me Mr. Holton, the Civil War wasn't started by the execution of John Lennon. John Lennon was assasinated for one, and lived in the latter twentieth century... the Civil War took place in the 1860s" Stupid know it all kids.
